This study shows that high extracellular osmolarity improves yeast thermotolerance by modulating osmotic balance and enhancing glycerol accumulation under heat stress.

This study curates and visualizes phenotypic data for 1,300 yeast species from The Yeasts (5th edition), revealing metabolic and ecological diversity across yeast lineages.

This study shows that the methylotrophic yeast Candida boidinii enhances the colonization of the plant growth-promoting yeast Papiliotrema laurentii on Arabidopsis thaliana leaves through metabolic cooperation.

This study shows that P-body formation is essential for yeast proliferation in the phyllosphere by protecting methanol-induced mRNAs from degradation.

The paper shows that PPFMs use MtpA chemoreceptors and FliC flagellins for methanol-driven movement, enabling their spatial colonization on plant surfaces.
